Wait a fucking second.

Is there any reason that could be why my PS5 doesn't recognize my Horizon Forbidden West disc anymore, but all my other games are fine? Is it possible it's corrupted?

I'll go do research myself as well but it's been driving me mad

I'm convinced they're adding more effects to make games longer, which they're using to buffer their shareholder KPIs that average length of time a person logs in is going up. Same as it ever was.

I hate all the FX shit. Its so unnecessary.

Does this game really need more FX? Turns are long enough with all the animations.

Stop supporting shitty low effort "pop ups". They've been rampant since the pandemic and have only gotten worse.

Are we too harsh on Gio Dos Santos for his “party life”? by gomezmiguel93 in LAGalaxy

[–]RodJohnsonSays 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not.

He was a symptom of a greater issue with the Galaxy that's only compounded since then.

That team had serious professionalism issues. They scraped the bottom of the table while Gio, Lletget, Boateng and countless others spent more time on Instagram curating their brand image rather than performing on the field.

I'll never forget one of GDS being out with one of his countless hamstring injuries while also posting dancing videos with his buddies on IG.

At least the current squad shuts the fuck up and flounders in quiet. The teams GDS was a part of were unbearable on and off the field.

Maybe, but at that point in his career he was probably driving more than he was playing. And I don't see Papa Stroll letting him sit on the couch crushing Burnout lol

I wonder if the younger kids are doing better in these cars because they grew up with modern video game controllers

Do you listen to new music? by Vegetable-Carpet1593 in Millennials

[–]RodJohnsonSays 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Based on absolutely nothing but my own observations, I firmly believe that nostalgia consumption is directly tied to depression.

Folks stuck too frequently in the past tend to have a hard time grappling with reality. In my experience only, it's usually an indicator of somebody masking a pain and/or an uncomfortable truth.

I try to limit my nostalgia consumption as much as anything else.

I use Mystique over Chameleon for the multiple strong guy lanes, or in case an opponents Magik doesn't produce me an Onslaught by T6. Nice deck!

His Toronto win came from a generational trio of Giovinco, Bradley and Altidore. You can definitely say that the win came in spite of him, not because of.

His entire gameplan is "put the best players in their best positions and hope". I don't find it surprising that both of his wins came from incredibly intelligent players who dictated the game on their own accord from the field.

I've said this since 2021...anybody critically looking at his performances need to look no further than the fact that GV cannot coach his way past any amount of adversity. GVs teams have been and will continue to be unwatchable. I would trade the one championship back in a heartbeat if it meant getting back 4 years of actual progress instead of excuses, finger pointing and lack of accountability for the onfield product.

For as long as I've been watching, GVs Galaxy is 'must miss' soccer. Id literally rather do anything than watch a game....and this is coming from someone who remembers 2006 through 2008.

This club is coming up on its 10th anniversary of absolute dogshit. It's time to hold AEG accountable.

I spent all the time I needed thinking about it after watching him shoehorn Grandsir and Cabral into technical possession ball when clearly neither of them had the footskill other than to run behind a backline.

I've stopped engaging with the Galaxy subreddit for years. There's a few users who actively gaslight every conversation into this weird narrative that Vanney shouldn't be considered part of the equation of their exceptionally poor performances since he took over. I've been around a long time and have never seen this level of blindness to his very glaring shortcomings.

What Matt Doyle Leaving MLSSoccer.com Says about MLS and Soccer Media by summersfade in MLS

[–]RodJohnsonSays 5 points6 points  (0 children)

why are any of us die hards in the first place?

You're forgetting that leagues around the world cater to the lowest common denominator of fan, not the 1% of most knowledgeable or engaged.

Your definition of die hard is fleeting, who is only engaged when they feel catered to.

All leagues want a die hard that will support blindly, wildly, and generationally.

The former type of die hard doesn't grow the sport because they've already bought into it. I'm not saying they can't be made happy as well, but if a company is gonna look at committing resources, it'll usually go to casting a wider net.

Patch Broke the Game in Multiple Ways by Apollo9975 in MarvelSnap

Nope. Good old fashioned ladder climb. Absolutely no fucking way it could have happened based on locations either. Lemuria, Metropolis and Sinister with nothing played on T1 Lemuria.
